- Interesting submission, the games artstyle alone is worth reusing on another project if you dont / cant expand upon this, very memorable. The theme is there and covered, the controls work, the only issue is finding the ingredients is unreliable and if you pick up a new item and drop the old one you might get stuck in a loop picking up and dropping both items repeatedly

Shadows in the Flask is a pre-rendered Isometric adventure game, in which the player must create artificial light through alchemy, finding the proper ingredients as the player’s fire begins to fade out, a growing pace each ingredient sourced.
Use the arrow keys to move, and shift to sprint. Careful! you can't run forever! Manage your time and put the correct ingredient in the cauldron!

Its fun, and I really like the ambience and the heartbeat and everything. Made me start panicking when it got super dark.
Bizzare, creepy and weird. Three of my favourite things 😂
From a truly creepy introduction to the throwback pre-rendered graphics Shadows in the Flask really grabs you with its intention of showing you a strange time. It's a fun experience with a simple mechanic that works.
There seems to be a bit of a weird invisible wall in the NE that you can get stuck on, I'm not sure it that's intended or not (as is the bizarreness of the game). It can also be awkward when 2 items are close together as you'll pick up/put down them many times in a row.
Great game for the atmosphere, building a simple narrative and overall absurdity.
I love the character. Controls are easy, task is easy to understand. Pretty cool, thanks
